The CASTLE is one of the special historical values of Zala County with unique features, in excellent technical condition, with a well-ordered ownership background and the possibility of quick occupancy. It was built in the 19th century, at the request of a royal chief counsellor, and it still retains its original rank and character in a dignified manner. The special value of the property is further increased by the fact that, unlike a significant part of the Hungarian castle stock, it has never been abandoned: it has been continuously operating, maintained, developed, and has always operated under a careful ownership approach. The fulfilment of its classicist splendor can be linked to the name of one of the founders of the First Hungarian Savings Bank, while its current, elegant and economically interpretable form is due to the current owners, who turned the building into a 4-star castle hotel by 1998. The developments did not stop at the creation of the hotel function: the technical modernization of the property also received special attention, as part of which a complete heating modernization was carried out in 2019, and solar collectors were also installed, which is a significant advantage from today's operational and sustainability aspects.
